Short Vowel Sound Phonics Open Ended Worksheets

These simple grids allow for repeated practice of short vowel sounds in an initial consonant/short vowel sound/ending consonant format (CVC). As the children search for the sounds that make up words, their decoding of nonsense words is equally important as their phonemic awareness develops. I begin with the first short a worksheet as a whole group activity. Once directions are clear, I often make grids with letters the children would like to use. This is another way to assess if a particular child understands the difference between vowels and consonants. With these activities, the discussions while looking for words are at least as important as finding the words. The grids can be used over and over with new consonants. Letter combinations like th, sh, ch, wh, ll, ss, etc. may be used as well. Let me know how it goes. Patti
